Another Irish number while I am in the mood,
I keyboard, 2 guitar tracks, and my gob

Alex.

IF YOU WOULD WAIT
(Shay Healy)

If you could wait a moment longer,
The sun would rise before the morn.
The shadows from the skies would vanish,
And the day be twice as long.
Every minute be an hour,
Every hour a loving kiss,
Every kiss a fresh spring flower,
Sparkling in the morning mist.

If you were here again beside me,
The running waters I would hold.
And turn their flow to you, my lover,
To wash your feet, your hair of gold.
Every drop a silver crystal,
Every crystal all aglow,
Every glow a breath of beauty,
From your skin like dimple (?) snow.

But since you've gone, the light has faded,
Birds are silent in the wood.
The grass still trampled in a hollow,
Marks the spot on which you stood.
Every tree a sad reminder,
Every branch a memory bare (?),
Every memory tinged with sorrow
That you are gone and I still care.

Really nice Alex. I noticed you put in the Tommy feel with the string rakes and touch of flange.
Good to hear your voice again. Well done my friend.
